  • Do not overmix the truffle filling. Overmixing will make the filling dense and grainy.
  • Chill the truffle filling for at least 2 hours before assembling the pie. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to work with.
  • When making the pecan crust, be sure to use finely chopped pecans. This will help the crust to hold together.
  • Bake the pie at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
